Bill Summary · SR 21

Legislative bill overview

Senate Resolution 21 is a memorial resolution honoring Lloyd Blaine Bolding of Kilgore, Texas, who has passed away. The resolution was introduced by Senator Bryan Hughes and formally received by the Secretary of the Senate on July 28, 2025.

Why is this important

Memorial resolutions serve as official legislative recognition of a deceased constituent's life and contributions to their community. While ceremonial in nature, they create a permanent public record in state legislative archives honoring individuals and can provide comfort to families and communities mourning their loss.

Potential points of contention

  • No substantive policy impact — Memorial resolutions do not create law or allocate resources; they are ceremonial only
  • Legislative time allocation — Some argue that formal memorials consume legislative session time that could address policy matters, though they typically require minimal floor time
  • Selective recognition — Questions may arise about which individuals receive memorial recognition versus others, as criteria vary by legislative discretion
